Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One 6. The Main Menu The „Programming Key“ and the main menu By pressing the Programming key you reach the main menu. All menu items/signs are easily understandable. They do not need to be translated into different languages. The icon with the thick, black frame is activated by pressing the button and you reach the programming screen.
Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One 7. Creating a new welding program 7.1. The help function (automatic program creation) The control allows operators, even if they are not well versed, to easily reach first welding programs. For this purpose there are basic calculations included in the software, which have been tested for years and that are recommended and practiced by other manufacturers.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One With buttons and the Setting-Enter Button the different data for diameter Wall thickness, Number (model) of the weld head, etc. can now be entered. The procedure is always the same. The number or value with black background can be changed with the arrow keys and then the setting-enter-key.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Press button Desired number of sectors-segments-levels (1-6 possible) Press button Different Symbol for Step-Mode Rotation In these menu items (see hereunder, New 2) you can define the rotation motion (for now continuous motion). Pressing , the motion changes to step mode.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Press button If you press the button and the water symbol does not change to a dark background, then we are in presence of a gas cooled weld head. In this case, we have weld head No. 83 (an open weld head OWH 76-Type LB).
Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One With the arrow keys you can find and activate the desired program. If the front number is highlighted in black you can jump in tens and you can quickly call a known number, with the back number highlighted, you can scroll through the programs one by one until program After confirming with , the program is activated.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Press menu button Press menu button After confirming with button , the current record is printed out. If still no welding has been performed, only the nominal parameters are printed, if already welded, also the welded and measured values and other data, like eventual error or status messages are printed.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One First of all, we must say that the value highlighted in black is the one that can be changed or viewed. Number of Sectors With the arrow buttons you can scroll through the sectors. You have the possibility to program up to 6 sectors.
Page 40
Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Pressing again, you can change these. As already described above, the changes are always made with the arrow keys and the ENTER button. When all 3 positions are highlighted in black, you can jump to the other parameters, by using the button and perform any changes.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Possible changes in the base current time sector 1 High-speed. If continuous rotation is specified in the welding program (frame parameters) then the value High and Base are always the same. You change e. g. the high value and the base value is automatically adopted.

Operation Manual CompactDual – Two in One Wire speed with high current Wire speed with base current In the programming in sector 1, a help function is integrated. Herewith, we try to protect you from any mistakes (that's why sector 1 is so detailed): If you change the speeds (rotation and wire) and the pulse times (in sector 1), all values (except currents) in all other programmed sectors will be overwritten.
